Don't tell me to go look it up because I don't have the intelligence to understand when I did that.
What is a "dialectic"? And if you just go look it up like I did and then try to give me the same definitions I just read, that won't help me.
I need someone who understands it to give me examples, not definitions. What are some examples of a "dialectic." EXAMPLES- not definitions. Please.
SBG: If the objective is to know the truth in scriptures, then dialectic reasoning the the wrong method. We must use spiritual methods.
The Spirit does not do dialectic reasoning with a person to provide them the truth in the scriptures.
I do not do this type of reasoning to reach the truth with anyone. And I do not expect them to do the same with me.
Now, if the objective is to find common ground, in search of the truth, then it is quite an effective tool. The exchange of ideas though must be in a form of objective exchange , a non-emotional exchange.
It uses an objective thesis-antithesis reduction reasoning method to come to a reasonable common conclusion,and not necessarily the truth.
